AT&T to customers: One iPhone per person

AT&T teaches its throngs of customers an important and lifelong lesson: …

If you're planning to skip out on your anniversary dinner with your spouse in order to wait in line for a pair of iPhones on Friday, then think again. An e-mail was sent out by AT&T to customers, which was received by several of our own staff members, regarding Friday's iPhone sales:

"With iPhone arriving June 29th at 6 p.m. in AT&T retail stores, the wait is almost over. Use our online store locator to find the closest AT&T store that sells Apple iPhone (limit one per person)."

Love, AT&T. No word on whether this statement will hold true in Apple retail stores, but logic dictates that it would.

So much for thinking you could get two and sell one on eBay. Seriously, though, AT&T will only be offering one iPhone per customer on Friday, so if you're planning to sign up for an iPhone family plan (as in, you want to buy an entire iPhone family), it looks like you'll need to bring the whole family along, Mr. MoneyBags.

AppleInsider notes that fans won't be the only ones camping out, either. "The Cupterino-based firm's retail division has called for the first ever Apple retail sleepover, in which staffers—where store locations permit—will spend Thursday evening nestled somewhere between the Genius Bars and stock rooms." So please, be kind to the Apple sales people that might smell funny after showering and sleeping in packing peanuts.
